Q. I am looking for something “new to me” to read. What hidden gems of literature can you recommend? What happens if the Library does not have everything I want to read?
Hays County student Faith Baxter recently was honored by the Oklahoma State University Ferguson College of Agriculture with an academic scholarship for the 2021-2022 academic year.

This week’s journey is moving toward Memorial Day when we honor the memories of our fallen servicemen and women. Service to the nation has a high price, which we who have served never forget — the valor of the brave.
Today’s column is going to be a little different. When I went to the Resource Recycling newsletter (I often use them for stories) to see what stories they had that I might use one as a basis for this column, I was confronted with several, each of which would make a good column. Not being able to choose which one would be best, I decided to just publish the headline of the story with a small opening of it and show what was available for anyone interested in it.

Stop the presses, throw all of your preconceived notions about the monarda or bee balm out the door. I swear, I have had marigolds taller than these new monardas. I have more flowers now on my monardas than I normally get from an entire season’s bloom. I am talking about the Leading Lady series.

A lifetime of gardening and numerous awards have not dimmed Linda Keese’s passion for plants and curiosity about their environment. In Hays County, Linda helped set up the Master Gardener program in 1991 and in 1998, organize a Master Naturalist chapter. Both interests inspired her to earn a Level 4 certificate (landscaping with native plants) from the Native Plant Society of Texas and underlined her dual interests of life-long learning and mentoring anyone interested in growing a habitat for wildlife.
